Pre-baby #2 goals

Time is ticking and yes I know my life will go on with this baby but it also will also mark the end of summer:-0  Sad day.  So I'm making a list of things to do before this new munchkin and the Fall take over.
1.  Rifle Splash Pad (Rifle isn't my favorite place on the planet but there is a Splash Pad)
2.  Hike Hanging Lake (the weekends are crazy so in order to do this I will have to convince Hudson he can hike a steep 1 mile up and back, maybe I will carry my hiker pack, do you think that will work 36 weeks pregnant?  Better do that next week!)
3.  Finish this Catherine the Great book, which I am going to work on as soon as I get off my blog.
4.  Camping at Lake Rudi, because I haven't been there and it's much cooler for a persistently sweaty pregnant lady without ac, I may move up there till I go into labor.
5.  Take Huds to a Lowe's class, I suppose I can do this with him after the baby comes but I am really sad to mark the end of Hud's and mommy era, however I am equally as excited to start the Hud's, baby, and mommy era.
6.  Make a baby blanket for the new little guy, I have the fabric it's been washed, not sure what I am waiting for.
7.  Make 5 freezer meals, one a week for the next 5 weeks!
8. Go to the temple.
Hopefully I'll get some pics and share them with my readers.  Most of lately has consisted of playing in the river if you haven't seen it on my instagram.  Maybe I will do a post on the Hudsie and momma era, there will be lots of river pics.

My dress

I'm so proud of myself I made a dress!  I always have these dreams of making things but never attempt because I don't want to mess up.  Finally thanks to a sale on this wonderful knit fabric and dying of heat, and ordering like a million dresses that were too short or too low cut (so I would have to layer, and I think layering in the summer is generally too hot) or just plane unflattering I decided it was worth the risk of messing up.  I used this tutorial.  I obviously made a few adjustments and prefer this method of sewing.  The wing it method.  I just fitted the skirt around my waist, sewed it on to some elastic, traced a top and sewed it all together.  Granted I made some mistakes I either thought my arms were really skinny or forgot to leave a seam allowance so winged that as well.  The original dress sleeves were super cute but I really wanted and needed something light and airy and this fabric was just too perfect to use for any other purpose.  I promptly went back and purchased 3 more knit fabrics and have an awesome wing it idea for one of them!  I love making my own clothes it's always been one of my top dreams.  I know this is super shallow but I have always wanted to be a clothing designer.  My family always discouraged me, but really if I've had one constant dream and passion besides my family and nutrition it's clothing.  So it's so fun for me to finally live this out, plus maternity fashion is either terrible or terribly priced, sometimes both!  I wish I wasn't so tired all the time so I could start my new one before I deliver this baby!
